“We will conduct substantive negotiations face-to-face,” Zelenksyy said.
LONDON — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said will arrive in the United Kingdom on Monday for “substantive” talks with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who announced ahead of the meeting that his country would supply Ukraine with hundreds of new long-range attack drones.
“I will meet my friend Rishi. We will conduct substantive negotiations face-to-face and in delegations,” Zelenskyy said on Twitter.
UK officials said ahead of Monday’s meeting that they’d send hundreds of air defense missiles and long-range attack drones — with a range of over 200 km — to Ukraine to aid in the fight against Russia.
“These will all be delivered over the coming months as Ukraine prepares to intensify its resistance to the ongoing Russian invasion,” Sunak’s office said in a statement.
The surprise visit comes a day after Zelenskyy made a surprise visit to Paris for talks Sunday night with French President Emmanuel Macron.
